Churrascaria Plataforma Brazilian Steakhouse

Great if you’re a carnivore! Delicious grilled meats and a very generous salad bar, though it’s far more than salad. Desserts were also very good. And you can get in and out fast if you’re going to the theater.

Ive been going to the restaurant for many years and Ive had great experiences. The date of my reservation there was a lot of peole that were overbooked for the same time. There were two hostesses telling people to just wait in line instead of the receptionist checking people in. It was very poorly managed. I insisted on getting checked in but was still seated 30 mins after my reservation time.

The food was ok, nothing of the extraordinary. I’m being on better Churrasqueira could be that.
Services was fantastic and ambience really good

Dinner was great. Atmosphere was electric and the service was very good.

a lot if problems...

there is an acoustic problem and if the place is crowded you won’t be able to talk the guy sitting right next to you, also, this causes a huge disturbance for you.

Not the place for gathering if 1 person from the group doesn’t not want red meat. Only 2 options, rodizio or choice are offered and the entire table has to choose the same. I paid for the rodizio which is supposed to include everything and I had to ask several times for a particular meat because it was never brought out. Once it finally did I was full. Other Brazilian restaurant have better dinner choices. The food was good but NOT worth the price. A fist fight broke out at the bar, very close to where we were sitting, and no one ever came to us to ask if we were ok or apologize for the situation. The fight had nothing to do with management but it was scary and the management or even the waitress checking on the tables sitting by the incident would have gone a long way.

Was very clean and workers were very eager to help and serve you

Service was attentive and professional.
Food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Food is well seasoned and tasty. Not for the faint of heart or someone on a diet; it's a meat lovers paradise. Went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday (her choice). We've been here before and it never disappoints. The service is quick and friendly.

This place has a variety of food available. Very nice ambience. Great place to take for special occasions. Been here several times in the past. A bit on the pricey side though so be ready to spend. Only thing I have a complaint about was the communication with the staff. Requested a napkin never got it. Asked the host and hostess to wish happy birthday to my friend when I return back to the table and they sang it without me so I was very disappointed. I didn’t care too much for the signature drink but did like the Brazilian wax. They do provide paid valet parking which was a plus.

My sister-in-law and I went there to celebrate her birthday. Neither of us had been to a Brazilian steak house before. The experience was amazing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was lovely with linen tablecloths and napkins and soft lighting. When we first arrived, we were surrounded by tables of men out celebrating I guess, so it was quite loud. We had to yell to hear each other at our table. But when the men cleared out, the noise level settled down. The salad bar had all kinds of delicious items (pickled onions, pickled beet cubes, tabouli, warm scolloped potatoes, etc.) as well as more garden variety salads. All were delicious. When we turned over the disks on our table to indicate that we were ready for our meat entrees, the fun really started. About every 5 minutes a waiter would bring mouth watering cuts of meat on a skewer to our table--bacon wrapped filet mignon, sirloin, prime rib, ribeye, lamb, chicken hearts (I passed), beef ribs, pork ribs, sausages, chicken--such a dizzying array, I can't remember them all. In addition to the meat entrees and the salad bar, we were invited to select side orders of vegetables. With the pre fixe menu, guests can have as much or as little as they please for every item. The waiters were very polite and fun to talk with. As we were leaving, the chef came out, and I hugged him. It was that good!

Was great. I wish if the food bar was as great as it was years ago. They definitely down graded that part.

Food was uneven. Some was really good and some was fair. Not all meat choices were offered to our table. Waiters did not come around to ask about more drinks.

Food was unique and very tasty. Service was excellent.

Celebrating my best friends birthday! Awesome place and experience!

Great place love coming here

Always great service and food at Plataforma

We booked our reservation as we have had Churrascaria in the past and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The flavor of the meat was outstanding and there was plenty to be had. We had already over eaten, between the buffet style salad bar and the endless meat selections, by the time dessert came...Until were presented with the decadent selections. The desserts were phenomenal and worth the extra calories!!

Great service! Nice family place!

Brought my boyfriend here for Date night, and he loved it. Drinks were great and the food was superb, would definitely come back and recommend!

The best. Thank you for showing my family the best of Brasil in NYC!

We love this place, but our last visit wasn't the best. Too loud, too hectic, and the servers were too distracted. Had to make the same requests 3 or more times to get what we asked for. Our birthday dessert was just OK. We'll probably return, but I hope they up their game to what it used to be.

My daughter and I went here for a birthday celebration. I have eaten at Churrascaria restaurants all over the world. Second only to a very local place in Campinas, Brazil - this is the best I have ever had. Great selection of delicious meats and awesome salad bar. Impeccable service and nice drink selections. Classic Brazilian steakhouse ambience complete with live band.

great meal - of course if you are a vegetarian, this is not the place for you...

Carnivore's delight. Great selection of meats and salads. There was something for everyone. They even have a fish option for someone who doesn't eat meat. It's just a very fun place. Great drinks too!!

While service was excellent the salad bar leaves a lot the be desired and some of the meats could be a bit more flavorful

We were seated right away and learned how to use our green/red cards. We immediately went to the buffet which had much variety of greens, fish, hot and cold dishes, and was plentiful. When we sat down, we were offered many cuts of meat, each one better than the next. My favorite was the filet mignon wrapped in bacon and polish sausage. My husband said the lamb was the best he ever had! We did not stay for dessert, as our tummies were so full! This is our second time here and only come on special occasions since we live upstate.

If you’re into meats, this is the spot.

consistency for 20 years...
make you happy kind of place
all the workers do their best to make clients welcomed

Had a great time.. feels a little hectic

Our party of 4 had dined in similar restaurants elsewhere and this one stands out as one of our favorites. The wide selection of starters were very fresh and had something to please everyone. The meats were well prepared and offered at a good pace. Our only complaint was that certain meats (the short ribs and roast pork in particular) came around only at the end of our meal when we were well stuffed. Some of us took a small sample of each which was delicious and we suggested to the servers that these should have been offered earlier to which they had no response.

There was an excellent selection of meats, of which you could taste every one. If you have a big appetite this is the place for you. Great salad selection for you to help yourself. My only criticism is the plates for the main were cold so the food cooled down very quickly.

Amazing food. Kinda pricey unless you can EAT like a pro. Staff was great

Plataforma is my very favorite restaurant in New York, hands down. The ambiance, the delicious gourmet salad bar, my asparagus risotto, and those delicious meats and fried bananas make it my go to for any family celebration. They had great jazz music the Saturday evening we dined, which added to the festive atmosphere as we celebrated my birthday. My chocolate layer cake topped off my meal nicely. We will be back in January to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Can't wait.

We saw the restaurant reviewed on "You tube". We flew to New York from England and this was definitely on our itinerary for the trip. The restaurant staff were extremely welcoming and the food was amazing. The cocktails were awesome. 10/10. The meat was so succulent it just melted in your mouth. The choices were vast with all sorts of fresh piping hot meat coming from the kitchen to be carved on your plate.
Was it worth travelling across the Atlantic to visit this restaurant? Erm Yes!

Have been to Churrasceria Plataforma many times over the past 10 years. It's been a few years since I've gone and the service has definitely gone down. We didn't have a waitress come to our table until 30 minutes into our meal. It wasn't terrible since there was the buffet and the guys came around with the meat. We had to ask one of the men to get a waitress for us, at which point we were able to order drinks and the appetizers included in the experience. Really unfortunate service for any day of the week, but especially since it was Tuesday and the restaurant was empty. For a $200 meal for 2 people, I expected more. I'd recommend somewhere else over this restaurant to anybody in for the future due to the service alone.

Friendly and good service. Best example of a churrascaria I’ve been to outside of Brazil. Expensive but good

Not what it used to be. You have to beg for decent cuts of meat. They bring flank steak and sirloin freely. Filet you had to repeatedly ask for

Awesome classic Brazilian Steakhouse!!! Service and food are awesome! Although the salad and cold bar is great, don’t be fooled into filling up early! Leave room for the meats!!! Cassially mentioned our son’s 16th bday and they brought a candles desert and sang! Nice touch!!!

Was not impressed with the quality of food. The price was shocker compared to other Brazilian restaurants I visited.
